TURKISH COOKERY.

The basis Of all culinary operations
in Stamboul is certain kind of tallow ex-
tracted from the broad and thick extremity
OF the Caraman sheep. This tallow has
an odor SO potent that we would not use it
even for candles.
The Turks are essentially vegetarians.
They eat beef very rarely, and never pork
or veal. They indulge in drinks, lean
fowls, and finally sheep, the flesh of which
they cut off in small pieces. These pieces
are strung upon long spits, which are held
and turned for some minutes over hot
Goals, where they are slowly roasted, re-
tanning all their juices. This is what is
called kebab, healthful and nutritious
food, which Europeans find delicious.
Turkish pastry is quite varied and would
not be disagreeable If honey and sugar
were not used so abundantly, and it the
taste of allow could be excluded. Balak-
lava and ekmek katalf Chick cakes cooked
in honey, per:umed with rose water and
covered with caimak, a kind of creamy, in
particular, recall very savory memories
The Cosmopolitan.

A APAyISH DTNNrR

Inc spanish are frugal and modest
race. Two or three dishes and dessert
that is their dinner. There is no
long bill of fare as among the French.
Inc restaurant was quiet room on the
ground floor of q understanding house.
There were one or two families and
several gentlemen dining. The women
wore handkerchiefs on their heads and
shawls over their shoulders. People
dropped in, had soup and a dish of
meat, an orange, some nuts, and went
away satisfied. Our bill of fare was
more extravagant, but it created SEN
sation. The landlord and all the
walters came in turns to look at the
extraordinary Englishmen who had
such gigantic appetites. Here is the
exact menu: We began with olives
and picked pimentos and guindellas
and chilis. These were the horse de
Noe1tUres. Then cigarettes. Then we
had an ordinary thin soup, followed by
cigarettes; and then came the great ma
tional dish, called cocido pronounced
collide because of the Spanish lisp
given to the C before certain vowels) you
have good deal for your dinner. 1t is
savory stew of chicken, potatoes,
sauce, bacon, and white beans, all
boiled up with pieces of beef. In
most Spanish families this is the every
day dish. OF course the poorer classes
have to leave out some of the ingredi-
ents, except on festive occasions. In
Andalusia the peasants will sit around
huge painful Of their version of this
article. It is made according to their
means, and often the vegetables are
plentiful, but the pieces of meat few
and far between, and each man ladies
it out by spoonfuls into his mouth.
Plates are dispensed with. The for
eigner who is suddenly confronted with
huge dish of cocido and politely re-
quested to help himself is in some diff
tculty. He takes spoonful at haz-
ard. The waiter still stands at his ell
bow. "The senior has only taken
BEANS" Again you make a dash with
the spoon and secure something else.
The waiter stares, but does not move
away. "The senior has only taken saul
sage" The senior, confused, requests
the waiter to assist him; and then the
process, though slow, is interesting. A
spoonful of the beans on the plate; then,
selected with the greatest care, piece
of chicken; then patient search for a
slice of sausage buried under mound
of cabbage; then the cabbage itself;
then minute devoted to voyage Of
discovery in search of the incest piece
of beef; then an exploration in search
of succulent morsel of bacon; then
spoonful of the potatoes; and then
over all an extra spoonful of the beau
tiful gravy. I timed my waiter, and he
took six minutes and half to help
me to cocido. When the dish passes
down the table dhote it takes about an
hour to go round. It is for this reason
that the Spaniards help themselves al
together ct the same time from the
common dish.-LeHe1' from Spain.

Marvellous Little Moxie.

The Moxie craze is the latest, and it bids
fair to last as the physicians say it takes the
place of stmulants and tonics, leaving no re-
action. Consequently, its place cannot be
been waiting for some one to discover its like,
as stmulants are only temporary relief, and
are eventually as destructive to nerve force as
overwork and exhaustion. Stimulants and
medicines never cure nervousness or ner-
vous exhaustion. 1t is said the Moxie does at
once. Stops the appetite for liquors as we'll,
satisfies the nervous system as we'll, at once,
leaving only the best results.

deliberated for a moment and an

English I repeated my question. She
deliberated little longer and said:
"You would like large plate with
pictures on it?" In dispair, I interro-
gated her in German. and found out at
length that the higher Courts were not
then open. was reminded of this ex-
perience afterward by a story I heard
in another German town where an
American lady wishing lodgings was
attracted by the same sign which had
enticed me. Finding that the landlady
could spead only word or two of her
vernacular, she said: "But you have a
sign on your door, English spoken

mark was one Of those coats intended

At o'clock "Chappie" was seen
coming down the street. He turned off
Chestnut street at Twelfth, went a few
doors, rang bell, and entered house.
The stroller followed it. In a nicely
furnished back room was seated we'll
dressed youth about 81 years of age.
He turned out to he "Fwank." All
around the room were hung garments
OF all shades and kinds, but all we're OF

pie" carefully took off the coat after re.
moving the rose that nestled in the
upper buttonhole. The bill was %
cents.
"What calm do faw ye, chappie ?"
was "Fwanks" salutation as soon as
the wind had opened the door and
cleared the room.
We'll. this 'chappie' doesn't want
anything except to know little bit
about this industry of yours. Where
do you get these clothes hanging
around here, and is your business q
furnishing success?"
At first there was an apparent in.
disposition to answer, but it didn't
take long to make up the little mind
possessed and few startling facts were
developed. The details will not, how
ever, be told in the silly lingo of the
informer.
The establishment has been in exist
ence nearly two years and has been
growing rapidly ever since its organiza-
ton. The proprietor buys all kinds of
fashionable clothing from slender dudes
whose fathers give them plenty. When
they get hard up they go to "Fwank s"
and there they receive very fair pric,.
for their clothing. The cheap dude,
that stands on Chestnut street curb
stones and meanders dolefully up and
down, wondering all day when some
thing is going to happen to make it
rich, so it can enjoy life like other
chaps, " or waiting for some heiress to
fall in love with its shape, is the one
that enriches "Fwank." This branch
of the "genus dudii" seldom has more
than dollar at one time, but it must
make an appearance. So it goes to
"Fwank, and there it can get one of
those dickey stop" coats for 10 cents

price is raised so per cent. Dress suits
are hired in the evenings for 40 cents.
